The proper place where wisdom, understood as the “straight path,” resides is undoubtedly the conscience, and the exact point where that walk is carried out with righteousness, sensibility, and wisdom can be none other than one’s neighbor. One’s neighbor will always be the “thermometer” that allows one to measure the state of one’s relationship with God and the progress or regression of one’s actions. On this point, the wisdom tradition and the Deuteronomistic spirit are in agreement. My neighbor is not just any reference point, nor an accident on my path; my neighbor needs me, and I need him as a means of drawing closer to God and as a privileged place where I can put the Lord’s precepts into practice: the Gospel.
